As I've mentioned before, T is having major works done at home, where she works from.

Yes I got to clear up the "are you moving" thingy LOL! she just replied "no" and she asked had it been on my mind for a while? I said sort of, but I thought it was best to ask.

Anyway I was sitting talking, and I could here rustling outside the room. OUr room is at the top of her house and has 2 doors, one of top of the landing and then the door to the room.

Then there was a knocking and T's name being called. T shouted "I'm working" and then the door to our room opened a bit and at this point I just froze LOL, T repeated very sternly "I am working" and I remember seeing the look on her face.

I remember thinking, man she really does know how to keep what is important in that moment, important. There was no way she was going to be disturbed for ANY reason.

The guy quickly closed the door and T apologised to me and asked am I ok? I said Yes, accidents happen. It did throw me a bit.

It scared me a bit though, seeing her soooooo serious.

i dont like seeing people i love getting really mad..either. it scares me.

Yikes, when I read the subject to this post, I assumed you meant that your T got mad at you ! So when I read that she was mad at the workers I was very relieved!!

You know what? I think I would be grateful to see how seriously she takes her times with you. Then again, I am coming from a prior pdoc who answered his cell phone, yawned, read notes from the wrong chart, and examined his tie during sessions.

I think i would get nervous if my T got angry too. I get nervous when he's dead serious, never mind angry. I like smiles. But that's my defense.

I think Ive seen my T angry,in response to a comment my husband made to me about my mental state.After I revealed the comment I could see his eyes widen and could see his tension and he replied"Well I guess its ONLY your problem then,eh?" I think the comment referred to hubbys lack of ownership in the distressful home life we sometimes have.
I at least felt that he cared and that he understands.
I know anger can be unsettling but I guess T's are human too....must be difficult to always have emotion in check.

Hi mouse,

I agree with pinksoil. Your therapist showed you how important your session time is to her. It’s always startling to me too when I see a person get mad for the first time. But it always brings me to the reality of them being a real person with real emotions. And when it’s someone I care about I like knowing that they have that ability to stand up for what they believe is important. In this case it seemed to be for you and your time.

Take care. ~ Bee

Hi all, Oh I wasn't to bothered T got angry. It was just something new. Bit like mum doing something different for the first time and having to fit that into the image I have of her. so now its "T can be compassionate, firm, dedicated, funny, forgetful, and angry, and still remain the same person. How KOOL is that LOL.
